Nice to meet you

Good day, my name is Michael Alexander, and I am a licensed clinical social worker focused on relationships and family dynamics. I am an African American man who believes in creating a safe, healing, and comfortable space for all. I consider myself an ally to the LGBTQI community and take a non-traditional, dynamic approach to therapy. My goal is to support and assist clients in a nonjudgmental, nurturing, and compassionate way, helping them feel seen, valued, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

Interests

I'm an avid and voracious reader (I love a good horror or speculative fiction novel), and I'm an aficionado of vinyl records (yes, I have thousands and love jazz). I also love to travel and am a self-professed foodie—anything vegan is up my alley!
